Can steak/hamburger be cooked with the interior still being red indicating the beef has all the moisture and fat to keep it succulent and tender?

You set the rotary timer for how long you want to cook. In the beginning I made my own time/food cook table for steak, pork and chicken. I have learned over the years to trust others recipes with a grain of salt.

Hey Jeff, I'm a meat and potato guy.My favorite meals to make in the turbo are steak and pork chops. Your steak will retain all the juices and cook for you as if you had it prepared for you at Outback Steak.

I have not tried to cook meat in it yet. I imagine the grease will drip out the sides into the fire, it`s gotta go someplace!

We brown our hamburger in a fry pan prior to putting spoonfuls of it between the bread slices to make our pudgy pies in the pie iron. We drain the grease from the fry pan; therefore, there is no grease to deal with when we put it in the pie iron. Usually, we make a sloppy joe-type mixture instead of just using plain ground beef for our sandwich.

I have cooked ground beef and stew beef in mine with good results but I don't think it make the beef any more tender than cooking on top of the stove, it was just quicker and cooked, ate, and stored (in refrigerator) from same pot. I use mine almost every day. Have even cooked pasta in it for Kraft Mac & Cheese.

You actually can, but I find that adding a touch (tea or tablespoon) of olive, rice bran or canola oil to this pan never hurts, especially when you want some carmelization, sheen and moisture of your cooked products (like onions, omelets, frozen potstickers, or whatever). Just be careful NOT to cook high heat items like a thick steak on non-stick surfaces- it won't come out as well as cooking over a grill or cast iron, and some discoloration will be left on some of the non-stick surface that may not come off; plus non-stick surfaced pans supposedly give off traces of carcinogens, when subject to very high heat. Good luck.

Steaks are fine just stay away from anything that produces a lot of grease as this grill can be a real fire hazard. I use a George Foreman or similar two - sided grill. They cook the steak much faster than a single - sided grill.

I have never done cooked ground beef but I have done cooked veggies, so you should have no problem, just make sure you fill it up only below the half way mark, better doing it in several batches than all filled up, all of course depends on the quantity you intend to make finer.... It is quite a strong machine.Edith

I keep plenty of oil in my meats because this grill will dry your food out. If you want just wrap your meats in foil cook it like that.

sorry, I ordered it as a gift and had it sent to them. I have not seen it, but they brag all the time about how good steaks are cooked on it. I will ask them,your question, not sure how to get the answer rto you.

I have never cooked vegetables on the two that I have but I have fried oysters, eggs, french toast, grilled sandwiches. I would think that a steak would be good because of the high temps. You can't go wrong with this grill. The only thing I don't like and it's just me, I wish it cleaned up nicer. I would like it to stay looking new but because of the diamond surface it is a little more difficult to keep looking like I just got it out of the box. They might call that seasoning, it has no effect on how the food cooks.

I am not sure - it never lasts too long in my home to even worry about it. Once open, i use right away. I marinate 10 lbs of skirt steak at a time and free the meat already marinated. That is the best way.

The meat can be tenderized at room temperature and seasoned as well, if it's going to be cooked within an hour or so. Meat should not be cooked coming directly from the refrigerator, it should be at room temperature anyway.

Was that a typo? - "grown beef"? Browned beef should be fine as the holes are no larger than 3/32" and the edges of the holes are very smooth (no edges). I hope that helps.

No, the instruction manual says, "Meats can be precooked, browned or grilled to get rid of as much fat as possible." Some of Emeril's recipes that come with the slow cooker calls for you to brown/sear meat in a skillet before putting in the slow cooker. Also things like sauteing onions and garlic before hand.

On the cooked steak it is best. Probably would work as a marinade too but not as spectacular. You will lose the freshness of the flavors methinks

No problem. I've slow cooked pork roasts and beef roasts and they come out tender

Do you mean to flavor the meat? probably possible. I've placed fresh rosemary on the inside for that purpose. On the outside, instead of using charcoal briquettes? Probably, but you'll have to keep replacing it and possibly cook longer in order to meat on the inside fully cooked.
